    UK flycatcher ID

    This female-type Ficedula flycatcher was in Bucks today: http://www.goingbirding.co.uk/bucks/show_photo.asp?photo_id=3038 There's rather a lot of white at the base of the primaries... Is this beyond the range of Pied??

    Slender-billed Curlew.

    Trust me, if you weren't involved at the time, you don't want to know... Alternatively, there's a link to another BF thread in an earlier post in this thread where you can read all the lovely details. If you have a spare weekend.

    Taman Negara, Fraser's Hill etc JAN/FEB 2013

    Don't forget to factor in a night or two at The Gap on the way up to Fraser's Hill for some slightly lower altitude species not found up at Fraser's Hill (assuming it is still open, it was 12 years ago I went!). Great places and great birding. Don

    Unknown birds, Germany near Stuttgart

    The first bird is indeed a Common/Eurasian Teal. The second is more difficult due to the red line on the photo. I've absolutely no idea what it is a ring around, but the only bird I can see in the photo is at the top of the red ring, looking left, it's head just to the left of where the red...

    Mallorca 2012

    At the weekend I had nice views of a singing male Moltoni's Warbler at Cuber Res. Walking round the res dam side first, the bird was almost at the far point before you turn back towards the car park, singing in scrub to the left of the path. Far few birders seem to take the track up the valley...

    Bird Journal 2.3 Review

    Couple of questions, if I may? I've read the system doesn't cope with faunal zones - is this correct? Don't like the idea of not having a WP list... Secondly, if the mobile version only for the UK with a BOU checklist, or if you've got the desktop version is it global? Want to take it to Oz...

    Was Spotted bird in Haverhill a rare find?

    Snowy E "not at all rare nowadays"! Crickey Joaney, don't expect to get one of those accepted around the ressies any time soon ;-)

    BTW, our hoaxer is back, this time as @tilermarks. Please, let's all just ignore him and hope he goes away...

    Eyebrowed Thrush in Norolk

    Or, maybe, we should acknowledge birders based on their field skills, contribution to scientific learning and conservation efforts, rather than how much time and effort they've wasted burning fossil fuels chasing round the country? Just a thought

    Eyebrowed Thrush in Norolk

    Ah Gary, this genius. I've worked out my own British list, and if you include all the birds I just couldn't be arsed to go for, I'd defo be on 531. Likewise, I'm really excited about my 2011 year list of 374 that I could have got, but basically just haven't.

    400 In A Year??

    That finding rares, esp passerines, inland is very, very hard though does happen surely is beyond debate? My home county sometimes goes a whole year without a single BBRC rare. It happens. And my local patch area, with great range of habo, is birded by a great group of skilled birders who find...

    Eyebrowed Thrush in Norolk

    Oh Richard, jeez, IT'S A HOAX!!!! I will happily bet you £500 that in the 2011 BBRC report there is not an accepted Eyebrowed Thrush from Hunstanton this month. Otherwise, as has been said, time to kill this thread...

    Eyebrowed Thrush in Norolk

    It's a hoax!! The tweets to Penny were just to get comments on here, he hasn't replied to others who have tried to contact him on twitter. It's classic attention seeking, and it wont stop until everyone ignores him and he'll get bored and go away....

    Sorry Pom, just got to BF for first time today now, would have deleted my post after your DM but guess too late. Sorry, retraction appreciated all round I guess.

    Really? You approve?? You like the idea of people wasting time and money do you? Luckily it's not come to that, as clever is the one thing Tillsmith hasn't been... Edit - oh dear, appears Mr Skua has deleted his post just now....
